Interesting option. Good offset for our trucks and tough as hell. They are salty though. I might stop in there and see them in person the next time I am down that way. Thinking the Matte Bronze might look cool on my blue truck.

Re: Dakar Wheels
Yup, those would look good.
Traded to 2019 ZR2, Red.
4Runner was a GREAT vehicle but could not even tow our 6x10 enclosed utility trailer comfortably, even when it was empty-ish.
It was time. Truck was still leaking BADLY every time it rained or snowed & melted. It was leaking at every single gasket (rear window, front window, all 4 doors). You could sit inside & watch it run down the inside of windshield, rear window & drip off the upper side door beams. It was molding on the inside & starting to stink. Needed new steering gearbox, shocks, new upgraded T-style steering, tires, brake lines, d/s manifold bolts that are barely recognizable due to rust-removed & replaced. Everyone around here would not even touch em once they looked at them.
So, say what you will. PW turned into a money pit. Was no longer a joy to drive. Hoping that this downsized 4x4 with lockers will fill the bill & have minimal problems, but..... As long as manufacturers keep making engineers design things that fail soon after warranty is up, we are going nowhere fast. Regardless of what you buy.

Re: Dakar Wheels
I agree but they don't come any wider than stock: 8"

Re: Dakar Wheels
Look good, but the price hurts. Not much more you can have a set of Hutchinsons. And still only 8” wide, wtf? Most tire manufacturers dont even recommend their 12.5” wide tire for anything less than 8.5”.

Re: Dakar Wheels
I like them, they look sporty. For the price, I'd have to get a set of Walker Evans wheels though.

Re: Dakar Wheels
I noticed the same things; 8" wide, expensive, and you can bet freight from the east coast is going to be high too. It's a good looking wheel (assuming "EVOCorse" and "Fondmetal" are decals you can peel off), but the 8" width is the real killer for me.
Re: Dakar Wheels
I was surprised that they are not forged too given the classes they are certified for. I don't do anything high speed or too crazy so I doubt I would break them. It is a lot of coin regardless.
I spent too many hours at an impressionable age watching World Rally Championship and Dakar on Speedvision. We used to meet at my buddy's late on Friday night and watch until almost breakfast on Saturday morning. That might account for the unhealthy appeal that they have for me.

Re: Dakar Wheels
This may be the one and only time being in the East would help me with a purchase for my truck. I am always crying about truck shipping stuff here from the west coast.
